# Hello everyone! #

We are proud to announce the first official **Effect.AI AMA** on February 12th at 3pm Central European Time. You are cordially invited to join us on the NEO Subreddit to (like it says on the box) ask us anything you'd like.

### A quick introduction to Effect.AI ###

As you may know, Effect.AI plans to combine the two technologies that are making the biggest waves in tech right now: Artificial Intelligence and blockchain. Because development of commercially viable AI algorithms has, until now and in most cases, been beholden to a select few, Effect.AI is working on an alternative called 'The Effect Network'. Once it's ready, this network will provide a fully featured, fully accessible AI development platform and marketplace that's built on the blockchain "and Powered by NEO!". Due to the size of this undertaking it will be launched in three phases:

1. Phase 1, **The Effect Mechanical Turk**, provides a global
workforce on demand that allows anyone in the world to request or perform tasks necessary for the development of AI. Develop AI from anywhere, anytime, from any device.
2. Phase 2, **The Effect Smart Market**, is a decentralized
marketplace where people can buy and sell AI and related services.
3. The third and final phase, **Effect Power**, pools spare computing power to create a distributed global super computer needed to run advanced AI algorithms, which decentralizes AI.

The EFX utility token makes sure users and developers anywhere on the globe
have an easy means of payment on the platform.

### For those of you who don't know us ###

We are Jesse Eises, Laurens Verspeek and Chris Dawe, respectively lead blockchain, lead development and CEO at Effect.AI. The coming AMA will be hosted by the three of us. No matter how technical your question, odds are Jesse and Laurens will be able to provide you with a satisfying answer.
